About Jupiter Primary School

Jupiter Primary School sits within Hertfordshire’s Dacorum borough, a local authority with 401 primary schools, 45 of which hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself ranks 24th out of 47 primaries in Dacorum, placing it in the middle of the pack locally, and 209th across the wider Hertfordshire authority. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Brockswood Primary School, 2. 2 kilometres away. Among the top-performing peers in the area are Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School, and The Russell School, all of which achieved perfect ranking scores of 100 on the local metrics. Jupiter’s own ranking score of 60 places it in the bottom 50 tier nationally, though it’s worth noting that this is based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — a single metric that doesn’t capture the full picture of the school’s strengths.
